__NOTOC__{{Infobox Discipline|Name=Protean|Source=Vampire The Requiem Sourcebook}}
Through communion with the Beast, some vampires have developed a close association with the wild. This is exemplified in their mastery of '''Protean''', the Discipline of shape changing and nature-based power. Its wielders can change their form, meld with the earth to hide from the sun (or other creatures), and perform a variety of other exotic changes on themselves. It is also the proprietary Discipline of Clan [[Gangrel]], and its members are known for its use on their savage Requiem.

===Basic Discipline Levels===

==== • Aspect of the Predator ====
:The first level of Protean allows a vampire to project a supernatural mien of savage predatory ferocity. The Kindred ignores the usual relationships of Blood Potency when meeting other Kindred for the first time. The Gangrel with this Discipline reacts as if she had equal Blood Potency to all others; thus, if she fails to keep control of her own Beast (due to the Predator's Taint), she will attack the one defying her. Her Beast will never drive her to flee such a meeting.
